日常生活

I downloaded the 10-level demo from Xbox Live Arcade and instantly fell in love. Having heard a lot of cool things about this game my expectations were very high. And with due reason.

Beating the last level in the demo left me with a craving for more, so the following day (or so) I purchased the full version and set of on the journey again. And it's got me to pull at my hair more than once, as the later levels in the game are quite tricky. Some of them require a little bit of thinking, something I'm evidently not all that good at. ;)

I've now reached the second last level (or so I've been told) and the end part of it is having me throw my controller out the window. It feels so much more based on luck rather than skill, and I end up in the acid every time. Grr..

Update: I asked my brother to get me through this particular passage (he beat the game yesterday) and he also complained about falling in the lava. We checked the settings and enabled portal funneling, which made it a breeze to get up. I'll likely finish the game tonight, as I believe the rest of the game should be easy enough. :)

Oh, and listen to the "Portal song". It's beautiful. I think I love GLaDOS.. :D

Update 2: Show's over kids, I beat the game. I felt a little sad, GLaDOS shouldn't have to die. Even though she tried to have me killed.. I still love you, GLaDOS!

So I ran across a list of ecchi anime over at Wikipedia and I instantly thought - "I should try watch all of it"... o_o;

I've watched a few of them already (or at least a few episodes) - Agent Aika, Amaenaideyo!!, Colorful, Ebichu, Futari Ecchi, Girls Bravo, Golden Boy, Ichigo 100%, Koi Koi Seven, Love Love, Mouse, Please Twins, Popotan, Strike Witches and Tonagura....... -gasp- That was a quite a few. What a pervert! :o

Some of these were really good (not necessarily because of nudity) while others, not so much (again, not necessarily because of nudity)... I'll try and watch them all. \o/

I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to postponing stuff, regardless if it's a thing I need to do or if it's just something I do for fun. It's like, the minute I start to think of whatever it is I do as a chore, I pull away.

I'm really bad with finishing games, I start playing, and even though I enjoy the games, the further and further I get the more reluctant to playing. It's crazy..

Now, I've decided to put up a goal to finish that don't require all that much effort on my side. I'm gonna grow my hair long enough that I can put it in a proper pony tail. Yeah, I know - that's silly right? :D The thing is, I only need to grow my hair a little little longer (bout 10cm's or so, so not all that little) and I'll be able to put it up in a pony tail. Yay!

After reading up on the subject of hair-growth, that's only another 5ish months to go. Hooray!

I figured I didn't watch enough anime and decided to change that by watching the 50 episode-long serie, Eureka Seven. I didn't have a whole lot else to do the last few days, so I more or less watched the entire show over the last four five days...

Someone wrote that it's Evangelion, but for kids, and I suppose that's partially true, being the nature of the show - half-adventure, half-action, half-mecha, half-romance...yada yada. But I enjoyed Eureka Seven a billion times more than I did Eva, mostly because this one didn't spin a hundred miles around my head..

It's a rather typhical story I suppose; boy meets girl (or girl crashes into boy, rather), boy and girl go on a world-spanning adventure, end up with a life-changing decision and the finale is heartwarming, sad but beautiful. And so incredible unfair. It's always so bloody unfair! Makes me wanna cry every time, it's depressing really... :-]

Aren't you a lucky guy, Renton? I wish I were you...
